RED LIGHT THERAPY
Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy uses photobiomodulation, which is a low-level laser therapy that delivers red and near-infrared light to areas of your body. In doing this, it helps regenerate (or grow back) cells, restore cell function and trigger blood flow. Thousands of clinical studies have proven wide-ranging, incredible health benefits of Red Light Therapy protocols.
Pain
Red light therapy (RLT) can help all types of pain by decreasing inflammation and/or improving blood flow to the area of discomfort, the pain signals and, thus, the pain decreases.
Skin Health
(RLT) stimulates both collagen and elastin production, repairs damage from UV rays and also promotes healing of wounds. This is accomplished by stimulating collagen synthesis and fibroblast formation, reducing inflammation, improving the efficiency of energy production of the mitochondria and facilitating DNA repair.
Gut Health
RLT can promote bacterial proliferation or inhibit bacterial growth, depending on the wavelength and dose of RLT and the type of bacteria. This improves the imbalance of the gut flora, which is commonly seen in people with metabolic disorders (i.e. obesity, diabetes, etc.) and neurodegenerative diseases (i.e., Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases).
Brain & Cognitive Health
Used in the inner ear, RLT can improve the symptoms of traumatic brain injury (TBI), ischemic stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, as well as age-related cognitive decline. Besides these therapeutic effects at the molecular level, there is also considerable evidence of changes occurring at the behavioral level such as cognitive enhancement, antidepressant effects, and improved sleep.
Thyroid Health
Currently, red/NIR light therapy is one of the only treatments that has the capability to potentially reverse, or at least mitigate progression of, autoimmune hypothyroidism.
Wound Healing
RLT provides more effective and efficient healing of soft tissue wounds by enhancing the rate and extent of epithelization. These results also show that RLT plays an important role in normalized wound healing by affecting keratin expression and that illumination provides a safe, easily applicable and cost-effective treatment of surface wounds.
Women’s Health
RLT helps reduce tension in smooth muscle (i.e., dysmenorrhea); encourages systemic blood flow (i.e., infertility); chemical & mechanical changes, along with modulated inflammation (i.e., endometriosis); and promotes lymph vessel regeneration, improves lymphatic motility & reduces tissue fibrosis (i.e., breast cancer-related lymphedema).
Inflammation
Studies have revealed that RLT can produce anti-inflammatory effects that are comparable to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), but without the deleterious negative side effects of degrading your stomach lining and small intestines.
Hair Health
(RLT) has proven to help both men and women with a wide variety of conditions to prevent hair loss and even regrow hair. Not only that, but RLT can also increase the thickness of each hair strand. Thus, red light therapy can help improve both the quality AND quantity of your hair!
Fat Loss
At a cellular level, red/NIR light is able to elicit a response that causes fat cells to release stored fat into the bloodstream. Once in the circulatory system, the fat can then be burned off as energy.
Bone and Joint Health
Red/NIR light can help with joint issues (ie, osteoarthritis) by: decreasing pain, decreasing inflammation, improving circulation to the joint, promoting collagen, and stimulation of healing and cellular repair mechanisms in the joint itself.
Anxiety, Depression, and Stress
RLT targets mitochondrial stimulation, improving blood flow to the brain, reducing inflammation and reactive oxygen species, improving antioxidant systems, enhancing neural growth, and improving neuronal energy levels.
Athletic Performance and Exercise
RLT is exceptionally effective at preventing muscular fatigue, enhancing muscular strength and endurance, increasing fat loss, increasing muscular growth, and promotes faster recovery from exercise.
Eye Health
Used in the morning time for short and regular durations, RLT can help to reverse retinal damage.

Purchase Your Own Red Light Therapy Device for Personal Use
Important Note:
Not all red light devices on the market are created equal. There are a lot of knock-off products that do not have true, therapeutic grade components. These cheaply made knock-off products can omit high levels of EMF radiation, which is harmful to our bodies. When purchasing a RLT device, make sure the company provides 3rd party lab testing report with a testing date - this ensures that you are getting a quality made product that is meant for you body’s therapeutic treatment needs. Simply put - if the company is not transparent with their 3rd party lab testing results, you cannot trust their product.
